Definitions

  • Embodiments presented herein relate to a user equipment, a method, a computer program, and a computer program product for providing visual feedback from the user equipment.
  • Many types of user equipment such as so-called smartphones, tablet computers, smart watches, etc. are equipped with user interfaces in terms of touchscreen displays for interaction with the user. These user interfaces are based on interaction with the user based on the user touching the display with one or several fingers, and moving the finger in a certain way, thus creating a gesture, that by the user interface can be interpreted as having a certain specific meaning.
  • the touch input to the touchscreen display is limited by the actual physical size of the touchscreen display, e.g. scrolling through content that in itself is not related to size of the display.
  • a common gesture is that the user moves a finger slowly at the touchscreen display and the amount of scrolling using one single gesture is commonly limited to moving a finger to the end of the touchscreen display after which the scrolling stops.
  • a common gesture is that the user moves the finger fast at the touchscreen display and then lifting it, causing the scrolling to be similar to rolling a wheel.
  • the first type of scrolling is limited by being slower than the second type of scrolling
  • the second type of scrolling is limited by not being as exact as the first scrolling. This an more examples limit the user experience when interacting with the user interface.
  • Some types of user equipment are therefore equipped with one or more types of sensors, such as radar sensors, that enable gesture recognition or detection of movements in certain parts of the space surrounding the user equipment.
  • sensors such as radar sensors
  • Examples of techniques and systems that enable a smartphone-based radar system facilitating ease and accuracy of user interactions with displayed objects in an augmented- reality interface are provided in document US20200064996A1.
  • document US20200064996A1 discloses a user equipment that has drawbacks. For example, there can be an uncertainty whether a gesture has been detected, or even that the tracking is active as such.
  • An object of embodiments herein is to provide means for efficient interaction with a user equipment by a user.
  • a user equipment has a body.
  • the user equipment comprises at least one gesture sensor configured to, when activated, detect movement, outside the body and in at least one direction from the body, of a user interacting with the user equipment.
  • the user equipment comprises a visual user interface configured to provide visual feedback of activation of the gesture sensor. The visual feedback indicates in which at least one direction from the body the detection of movement using the gesture sensor has been activated.
  • a method for providing visual feedback from a user equipment comprising activating the at least one gesture sensor for detecting movement, outside the body and in at least one direction from the body, of a user interacting with the user equipment.
  • the method comprises providing visual feedback of the gesture sensor having been activated.
  • the visual feedback indicates in which at least one direction from the body the detection of movement using the gesture sensor has been activated.
  • a computer program for providing visual feedback from a user equipment comprising computer program code which, when run on a user equipment according to the first aspect, causes the user equipment to perform a method according to the second aspect.
  • a computer program product comprising a computer program according to the third aspect and a computer readable storage medium on which the computer program is stored.
  • the computer readable storage medium could be a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.
  • the visual feedback is an example of a visual indicator. Therefore, these aspects advantageously provide a visual indication of a technical condition of the user equipment.
  • these aspects provide efficient means for the user to learn in what direction, or directions, movement detection as performed by the gesture sensor has been performed.

  • Fig. 7 is a flowchart of methods according to embodiments.
  • Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram showing functional units of a user equipment according to an embodiment
  • Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing functional modules of a user equipment according to an embodiment.
  • Fig. 10 shows one example of a computer program product comprising computer readable storage medium according to an embodiment.
  • ambiguities arising from situations when a user is interacting with the user interface of the user equipment. For example, it could be difficult for the user to tell as to whether movement detection (as performed by a gesture sensor) as such is active or not. For example, even if it can be confirmed that movement detection as such is active, it could be difficult to tell as to whether presence of the user has been detected (such as whether presence of a finger has been detected) or not. For example, even if it can be confirmed that the presence of the user as such has been detected, it could be difficult to tell as to whether the gesture sensor correctly has been able to interpret the movement of the user in accordance with an intended gesture or not.

  • the visual feedback is indicated by light 200 being emitted only from the light sources 130al, 130a2 located in those directions in which the detection of movement using the gesture sensor 120 has been activated. This is advantageous since movement detection might not be activated in all directions at one time.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un équipement (100) d'utilisateur. L'équipement (100) d'utilisateur est doté d'un corps (110). L'équipement d'utilisateur comporte au moins un capteur (120) de gestes configuré, lorsqu'il est activé, pour détecter un mouvement, à l'extérieur du corps (110) et dans au moins une direction par rapport au corps (110), d'un utilisateur (300) interagissant avec l'équipement (100) d'utilisateur. L'équipement d'utilisateur comporte une interface visuelle (130a1, 130a2, 130b) d'utilisateur configurée pour fournir une rétroaction visuelle de l'activation du capteur (120) de gestes. La rétroaction visuelle indique dans quelle(s) direction(s) par rapport au corps (110) la détection de mouvement à l'aide du capteur (120) de gestes a été activée.
